Great spot near Albany Times Union Center for Dinner PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi Fellow Hounders! I am looking for a non Italian spot for a family of 5 (all adults ranging in age from 34-77) that would satisfy 2 female foodies who love wine, and 3 guys who think burgers, fish and chips and beer were made by the Gods near the Times Union Center. I was given a recommendation of Albany Pump Station but I looked at the menu and while great for the guys...not so great for my mom and I. We are about to throw up our hands and head to Cheesecake factory up in Colonie because it has something to satisfy everyone, but I'd love to try something in downtown Albany...Any suggestions???

Yono's (the cafe, not the upscale restaurant). Have not been to Jack's in ages not sure how it is with the new chef. You said no Italian or I'd suggest Cafe Capriccio. Dale Miller? I believe he has a more casual restaurant to complement the upscale fine dining restaurant. Marche? We have not been since their menu changed. I believe it's more bistro fare now. CCK on Central Avenue for Chinese. You might want to check out those menus and see if any of them work for you.

Wolf Road has nothing but chains. If you're willing to go that far you might want to think about New World Home Cooking.

Price range no more than $25 for Entree...We love Yono's (the upscale restaurant) Hubbies weren't that impressed (oh well)...I will look up Marche. I will also look up New World Home Cooking and Lark Street. Thanks!
